Interactions between your drugs

Major

mibefradil panobinostat

Applies to: Posicor (mibefradil) and Farydak (panobinostat)

ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of panobinostat, which is partially metabolized by the isoenzyme. In 14 patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, administration of a single 20 mg dose of panobinostat on day 4 of multiple once daily dosing of 400 mg ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, resulted in 1.6- and 1.8-fold increases in mean panobinostat peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC), respectively, compared to administration of panobinostat alone. Ketoconazole caused a greater than 2-fold increase in Cmax and AUC of panobinostat in a limited number of patients. QTc prolongation >30 ms over baseline occurred in 5 patients during concomitant administration, compared to 4 patients during panobinostat alone and 3 patients during ketoconazole alone. Other ECG abnormalities occurred in 6 patients during concomitant administration and 3 patients during either panobinostat or ketoconazole alone. No significant alteration in time to maximum concentration (Tmax) or half-life of panobinostat was observed.

MANAGEMENT: For the treatment of multiple myeloma in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone, the dose of panobinostat should be reduced to 10 mg when coadministered with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

panobinostat food

Applies to: Farydak (panobinostat)

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of panobinostat. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Increased exposure to panobinostat may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, peripheral edema, cardiotoxicity, ECG abnormalities, electrolyte disturbances, bleeding complications, hepatotoxicity, and myelosuppression.

Food may delay the rate of absorption of panobinostat, but does not significantly affect the overall extent of absorption. When a single oral dose of panobinostat was administered to 36 patients with advanced cancer 30 minutes after a high-fat meal, panobinostat peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were approximately 44% and 16% lower, respectively, compared to administration under fasting conditions. The median time to maximum concentration (Tmax) was prolonged by 2.5 hours.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with panobinostat. The manufacturer also recommends avoiding star fruit, Seville oranges, pomegranate, and pomegranate juice. Panobinostat may be administered with or without food.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
